--Today's Tomato of the day is: Cherokee Purple.
We do NOT use any synthetic chemical fertilizers. We do NOT use any synthetic chemical pesticides. Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Co., our seed supplier for Cherokee Purple, provides this description: "An old Cherokee Indian heirloom, pre-1890 variety; beautiful, deep, dusky purple-pink color, superb sweet flavor, and very-large-sized fruit. Try this one for real old-time tomato flavor. Our favorite dark tomato and one of our best selling varieties." I have been growing Cherokee Purple for 4 years now--for good reason--and it's a sure bet that I will continue to grow it for as long as I am able to farm. Cherokee Purple is on my top 5 list of best tasting tomatoes. While I could have let this particular tomato ripen a day or two more for deeper colors and increased flavor, I actually just ate this one for breakfast (tomato, egg & cheese on homemade bun) and it was off the charts SO DELICIOUS. If you love growing great tomatoes, I hope you'll consider growing Cherokee Purple next year. SowThankful Farm is a very small NM heirloom & specialty micro-nursery and market garden-micro farm located in Edgewood, NM, USA. My primary focus is heirloom & specialty tomatoes as well as some other specialty veggies & flowers. As always:
